A cappella competition season is upon us! Christopher Newport University’s all-female a cappella group, Take Note, secured a spot in the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella—affectionately known as ICCAs. After holding a small Valentine’s Day fundraiser in Einsteins, Take Note traveled to John Hopkins University in Baltimore to compete in the second weekend of the Mid-Atlantic Quarterfinals. Before they left, The Captain’s Log had the chance to interview rising sophomore Victoria Grimes. After joining Take Note last semester, Grimes ran for and won the title of next year’s President of the a cappella group—a club she holds dearly to her heart. Grimes shared that Take Note had been rehearsing their ICCA choreography since November. The songs they performed over the weekend were in the order of “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey, “Falling” by Harry Styles and “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan. The songs were decided and composed by Music Director Abiy Hailu before what was another successful Glow-in-the-Darcapella last November.
